Split decisions over Marcus Davis and Akihiro Gono, a unanimous over Swick, and a KO of Rory Markham aren’t terribly impressive wins, while Akiyama had to hit the ground running fighting Belcher, Leben, Vitor, Bisping, and Shields. If they put Sexyama against Davis, Gono, Markham, and Swick I’m sure he would have started his run at 4-0 in the UFC too.

Despite being a big Akiyama fan, I do agree he should be done if he loses this.

And I agree with Rece here as 4 loses in a row should be it, but it seems the WW division is givin the most leway.
